Prayer for Trump and the United States

Following the election of Donald Trump as the next President of the United States the Evangelical Alliance has issued the following statement:

"Today the United States of America has voted to elect Donald Trump as President. We pray for reconciliation after a divisive campaign that has caused much pain on all sides. We pray that our fellow Christians in the USA will demonstrate the power of love needed to change and unite their nation. We join with many throughout the world praying that the gospel of Jesus will bring peace, justice and hope for all. Finally, we pray for wisdom and grace for the new President as he both leads and serves the people of the USA."
